Anyway, to get back on track, I'm glad to hear that everyone is still enjoying their i-MiEV after all these years, and I'm glad to see newcomers still streaming in. After a period of zero used availability in the UK, I can see 5 for sale in the country (2 I's, 3 clones), and it would appear that va...

That salt has a lot to answer for! :x I had meant to have a look at the shifter at the weekend and jack the car up so I could see underneath and give it a good clean, but never got round to it. :roll: Today, I start the car and move it and the same problem happened but it was when going from revers...

Utilitarian, simple by design, high quality, value-providing and individual. I too agree that the modern EVs are overly-laden with expensive tech, and that simplicity in this application is welcomed. Also, I cant think of a simpler car to drive. For me, the most welcomed aspects are the size and lac...

Picking up from the fuse box by tapping into an existing fuse is always preferable to cutting a loom wire in my opinion. Another option would be to tap into the post-loom part of the stereo power - though some newer head units have a USB or other power tap straight from the back of the unit - worth ...

I would love a M3, but would have to be only once they are in full swing production wise - im sure they will get there. Didn't the same shindig happen with the early Model S cars... faults reported, then they sorted it all out? Even the first Leaf's were not great. I tend to go for cars towards the ...

Tesla 3 teardown: Some of the comments about build quality are worrisome to me. Clearly, this car remains stuck somewhere between pre-production and mass production still. I suspect that when Tesla has cleared the backlog of pre-orders from the poor souls that get the first wave, they will produce ...

Ouch, I misread the mileage: I thought it said 11,000km not 110,000km. :o With this mileage I would indeed go to the trouble of verifying battery capacity and do a much more serious examination of the car than if it had 11,000km! Also, I would negotiate that price down, as that is serious mileage i...

The only thing I would add to this, is that yes the battery issue is not a problem as long as the Canadian warranty is the same as the US one, though note that this is a light car with narrow wheels, so I would just be checking the general condition items found on any car - seats, tyre wear, crash d...

Hi Jray. Car has been used almost every day but it has been quite rainy of late. UPDATE: Just noticed this post from years ago on a Nissan Leaf forum - http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=176176#p176190 Seems that some people have experienced similar problems on the leaf and that it was sof...
